It is not possible to group the facial asymmetries in one single nosological entity. However, whatever the origin of these malformations, their surgical treatment is governed by the same principles. In this article, the author attempts to define certain aetiologies:genetic, congenital and developmental, of the minor assymmetries of the face. He then reviews the different techniques in current use, in plastic and reconstructive surgery:autogenic or homogenic tissue grafts (bone, cartilage, derm, fascia, etc.), implants of plastic material, osteotomies. He stresses the use of simple techniques which cause little mutilation, as well as the simultaneous correction of the profile which greatly enhances the aesthetic appearance and the psychological well-being of these patients.
不可能将面部不对称归为单一的疾病实体。然而，无论这些畸形的起源如何，其外科治疗都遵循相同的原则。在本文中，作者试图定义面部轻度不对称的某些病因：遗传、先天性和发育性病因。然后，他回顾了整形和重建外科中目前使用的不同技术：自体或同种组织移植（骨、软骨、真皮、筋膜等）、塑料材料植入物、截骨术。他强调使用造成轻微损伤的简单技术，以及对面部轮廓的同步矫正，这能极大地提升这些患者的美学外观和心理健康。
